+ <para>Boost.Build supports cross compilation with the gcc and msvc
+ toolsets.</para>
+
+ <para>
+ When using gcc, you first need to specify your cross compiler
+ in <filename>user-config.jam</filename> (see <xref linkend="bbv2.advanced.configuration"/>),
+ for example:</para>
+<programlisting>
+using gcc : arm : arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ ;
+</programlisting>
+ <para>
+ After that, if the host and target os are the same, for example Linux, you can
+ just request that this compiler version to be used:
+ </para>
+<screen>
+bjam toolset=gcc-arm
+</screen>
+
+ <para>
+ If you want to target different operating system from the host, you need
+ to additionally specify the value for the <code>target-os</code> feature, for
+ example:
+ </para>
+<screen>
+# On windows box
+bjam toolset=gcc-arm <emphasis role="bold">target-os=linux</emphasis>
+# On Linux box
+bjam toolset=gcc-mingw <emphasis role="bold">target-os=windows</emphasis>
+</screen>
+ <para>
+ For the complete list of allowed opeating system names, please see the documentation for
+ <link linkend="bbv2.reference.features.target-os">target-os feature</link>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When using the msvc compiler, it's only possible to cross-compiler to a 64-bit system
+ on a 32-bit host. Please see <xref linkend="v2.reference.tools.compiler.msvc.64"/> for
+ details.
